ABSTRACT:
The input buffer circuit includes an input stage providing a switching point voltage based on a predetermined switching point set between a first and second reference voltages that maximizes the high and low noise margins of the input buffer. The input buffer circuit further includes an output stage. The output stage is coupled to the input stage. The output stage receives the switching point voltage from the input stage and amplifies the switching point voltage to a full logic level voltage.
